Smith were at Thorntown Thursday attending the celebration accompanying the dedication of the two fountains presented to that town by General Mills, who was raised there and who is now a wealthy man in New York, but who has never forgotten the happy days at his boyhood home and who very appropriatly has built these monuments to his memory. The event was made a big affair and W. H. Blodgett was sent there by the Indianapolis News to write it up, and he did so, accompanying his description with several illustrations. ... “Uncle” Joe Parkisen spent a half hour at the Republican office this morning and he thinks Kansas should come in for a little write-up in the Republican, and not all of the praise from former residents be given to the Dakotas. He lives in Bucklin, but himself and son, Wallace, have two ranches aggregating 6,000 acres, some 14 miles from Bucklin. They have some 700 head of cattle. They do not farm extensively, but the 100 acres, of corn they planted this year was injured by the warm, dry winds and hot sun of early August, and it did not ear out at all, although it continued fairly green and was finally cut for fodder and made good cattle feed. At Bucklin, on ground that had been cultivated for some years the damage was not so great, although the crop, was cut down considerably. Mr. Parkisoh has prospered since going out there and is well pleased with the change, but a visit to old Jasper county seems pretty good to him yet. He was 80 years of age last spring and is in good health.
